How suffocating it is to live for everyone else Wondering why it's been so hard to breathe Yet every inhale is borrowed air When did I give away my power? When did I close myself in? Yearning for approval Yearning for acceptance Even if I was everything they wanted me to be I'd never be enough I better just exhale
